Some Ivy League schools are doubling down on race-based admissions policy, shortly after the Trump administration to take action to cancel Obama-era affirmative action guidelines.

Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos sent a “Dear Colleague” letter last week to the schools to roll back several of Obama-era directives of the administration considered to be outside the constitutional boundaries and “unnecessary” given the supreme court precedent.

At the same time, the Ministry of Justice, threw their weight behind the group of Students for Fair Admissions, which is suing Harvard University, for illegally discriminating against Asian Americans in the admission application.

IS HARVARD RACIST? IF YOU LIKE ASIAN-AMERICAN, THEIR ADMISSIONS WOULD BE

“It is discrimination on the basis of race and it is a quota. The quota today is against the Asians, just like the quotas in the 1920’s and ‘ 30’s was against the Jews,” Edward Blum, president of Students for Fair Admissions, said on Tucker Carlson Tonight. “You can’t remedy past discrimination with new discrimination, and that is what colleges are doing.”

But the Boston-based school says that it is not change of course.

The University of Harvard, has been sued for discrimination against Asian-Americans in the admissions process, while the school doubles down on his policies in spite of the Trumpet administration repeal of Obama-era admissions guidelines.

“Harvard will continue to vigorously defend its right and that of all the colleges and universities to consider race as one factor among many in college admissions, which is confirmed by the Supreme court for more than 40 years,” Harvard spokesperson Rachael Deen told Fox News.

According to the lawsuit against Harvard, Asian Americans consistently rated lower in subjective categories such as “courage” and “lacking in personality” which decreased their chances to be accepted. But the school said that the “extensive” analysis showed no discrimination.

Yale University is also choose to “defy” the Trumpet of administration, which may result in a loss of federal funding of the Ministry of Education and research of the u.s. department of justice, according to the Yale Daily News.

“Yale wants to create a vibrant and diverse academic community where our students interact with people of different backgrounds and perspectives,” Thomas Conroy wrote in a statement to the Daily News. “Our admissions policies and practices reflect and support this goal.”
